{"product_id":"5210240","title":"Robert M Sapolsky | DETERMINED","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIN A MASTERFUL\u003c\/b\u003e synthesis of science and philosophy, one of the world's pre-eminent behavioural scientists demonstrates that free will is a powerful and dangerous illusion. The result is a new way to think about choice, identity, responsibility, justice, morality and how we live together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBehind every thought, action and experience there lies a chain of biological and environmental causes, stretching back from the moment a neuron fires to the dawn of our species and beyond. Nowhere in this infinite sequence is there a place where free will could play a role.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithout free will, it makes no more sense to punish people for antisocial behaviour than it does to scold a car for breaking down. It is no one's fault they are poor or overweight or unsuccessful, nor do people deserve praise for their talent or hard work; 'grit' is a myth. This mechanistic view of human behaviour challenges our most powerful instincts, but history suggests that we have already made great strides toward it: where once we saw demonic possession or cowardice, for example, now we diagnose illness or trauma and offer help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetermined confronts us with our true nature: who and what we are is biology and nothing more. Disturbing and liberating in equal measure, it explores the far-reaching implications for society of accepting this reality. Monumentally difficult as it may be, the reward will be a far more just and humane world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Häftad. 8:o (153x234 mm) \u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 528 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847925541. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=tag:Övrigt%2BÖvrigt%2BVerklighetsuppfattningar'\"\u003eVerklighetsuppfattningar\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Sapolsky%2BRobert%2BM%2BDetermined'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Robert%2BM%2BSapolsky'\"\u003eFler böcker av Robert M Sapolsky\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Sapolsky+Robert+M\"\u003eSapolsky, Robert M\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Determined\"\u003eDetermined\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Random+House+UK\"\u003eRandom House UK\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 5210240\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House UK","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44962591834379,"sku":"5210240","price":478.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_33f4b1ab-12e7-4a37-a52f-a80de96d5fe5.jpg?v=1719846994","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/5210240","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
